REVFF26: Colossal Wreck
Book Tickets
Synopsis
Colossal Wreck takes us on an odyssey inside the COP28 climate conference in Dubai. Are these enormous get-togethers all about false promises that hinder change? Or are they the only hope we've got for world-saving unity?
With his innocuous selfie-stick, filmmaker Josh Appignanesi moves unnoticed through Dubai's seductive slickness to reveal the talks, meetings and elite backroom parties behind the strange mixture of global cry for help and political posturing that is a COP. Lost in translation, he comes face to face with the irony of an oil baron hosting this last-chance climate saloon in a techno-utopian leisure city -- that, er, happens to be built in a burning desert.
But then the business-as-usual is ruptured by a searing encounter with indigenous voices from the frontline of climate injustice. An urgent, moving, insider's depiction of 'the conference at the end of the world', and the antidote to its corruption, in the light of the recent COP30 conference, this is a must-see.
